## Amenity Distribution in Golden Triangle

The neighbourhood hosts 37 distinct amenity points according to OpenStreetMap data. This total includes one school, Lisgar Collegiate Institute, and one childcare facility, St. Luke's Child Care Centre. The remaining points are distributed across parks, transit, grocery, and recreation categories, providing a broad baseline of local infrastructure.

Parks account for 8 of the 37 points, including named locations like Minto Park and St. Luke's Park. Recreation facilities number 6, featuring SENS Rink of Dreams and Minto Sports Complex. These counts establish the physical presence of these services within the boundary but do not indicate their operational status or capacity. Sources:

## Transit Stop Presence

Twenty transit stops are mapped within Golden Triangle, representing the largest single category of amenities. Named stops include Elgin / Gilmour, Elgin / Gladstone, and King Edward / Templeton. Several stops share names, such as Elgin / McLeod and Elgin / Argyle, appearing multiple times in the dataset. This high count suggests significant transit infrastructure coverage in the area.

The presence of 20 stops does not confirm route frequency, service reliability, or passenger volume. Without schedule data or ridership statistics, the practical utility of this network remains unverified. The mapping confirms location only, leaving questions about accessibility and convenience unanswered for potential residents. Sources:

## City market context

From the Ottawa market article, 22 September 2026:

Ottawa's August 2026 sales-to-new-listings ratio dropped to 47.3% citywide, with apartments lagging at 43.0%. The 4.3-point gap between segments reveals where buyer leverage is forming before headline prices move. Ottawa's August 2026 sales-to-new-listings ratio fell to 47.3% citywide while apartments recorded 43.0%, a 4.3-point gap that signals weaker absorption in the condo segment even as composite benchmark prices held near flat. This divergence matters because it identifies where buyer leverage is emerging before it shows up in headline price indices.
